Clay Pot Angel

Project Instructions:

1. Glue fine moss or potpourri all around the rim of the clay pot, using tacky craft glue or hot glue. Randomly add small dried rosebuds or other flower buds on top of the moss. Turn the clay pot upside down and set aside.

2. Paint the wooden ball in flesh tone and let dry. Hot glue the ball to the top of the overturned pot. Use the Sharpie pen to draw on simple facial features. Carefully add a small dot of pink lipstick, paint or crayon as blush on the cheeks.

3. Glue the angel wings to the back of pot.

4. Tie a small raffia bow and glue it to the front of the angel. Glue the heart shape on top of the bow.

5. Glue coarse craft moss in place as hair. Glue the twig wreath on top of the hair as the angel's halo.
